Each day we step foot on the dock is another day that we have arrived safely at home. The hand in this image belongs to ‘Chief’ Charlie Mason, and has seen more than 60 years of boat driving. That is 60 years of exploring the rainforest, tackling storms, watching the ecosystems and how they’ve changed over the years. How lucky I am to learn from such wisdom.

When you live in a city or a town, or any high populated areas, you won’t notice humanity’s impacts to earth’s important ecosystems. Spend a few years in the wilder places and very soon you’ll notice the changes. They are devastating and scary. When you hear of a habitat that is ‘thriving’, know that it is simply recovering (from us). Because there is no wild place on earth that is not feeling the impacts of humanity.

It was amazing to hear my brothers birthday was being celebrated around the world. Thank you to all those friends and family that gave him a toast and partied the way he would have wanted it. Those who knew Tom would not be able to recall a dull moment in spending time with him, there was always something to jump over, something to climb, somewhere to party, someone in need - he could do all those things with such incredible energy because in the end he could just nap on the sidewalk... It’s a very strange feeling living on this planet without you, Tom. I’m never not thinking of you. Here’s to ya 🍺
